More From Trinidad

by Steve Eshom

On my recent visit to the Columbia River sub I ended up on Trinidad hill (west of Quincy, WA) each day around sunset.  Since Trinidad is so accessible it made for a great place to be after dark.  To make it better, there are several locations that have objects that add to the interest of night photos.

At MP 1622.2 an eastbound Boeing special lights up the detector, signal 1622.3, and the surrounding hills.  Exposure 86s @ f/16.  Headlights provided by BNSF 2075.

Another great location for night photos is Tunnel 11 between Trinidad and Quincy.  The configuration of the east end opens up opportunities to peer into the bore as evidenced by this eastbound Z train climbing up from the Columbia River.  P.S. I don’t recommend you follow any advice written in graffiti on tunnels.
